But when Livia’s friends’ young son goes missing, a series of events is sparked which will certainly ruin the Chief Inspector’s pleasant interlude. A secret apartment and a grisly find in an old trunk are just the beginning: Montalbano must navigate his way through the case as well as coping with the sweltering heat, the suspicious death of an arab labourer and the tempting lure of a beautiful girl . . .” IN STOCK FOR IMMEDIATE DESPATCH
